nothing is easy on the front CV joints when off roading a vit. i went to 33"s for the clearance under the rear diff, but i couldn't get it engineered with 33"s.
but i was allowed to run up to 31"s if i wanted, so i went simex. they measure just under 33" when new, and are still taller than my mates 2 month old 31" swampers.
i have 5.1 diff ratios, and found that 33"s were extremely borderline, but bearable. i could live with the 33"s, but the authorities couldn't.
i drove a 95 soft toop vit the other day, efi, stock as a rock. rev'ed out good, nice and smooth, but my vit on the simexs still goes just as hard, if not harder. i couldn't imagine putting a 6" lift on the 95 model with 31"s, i don't think it would go anywhere at all. maybe the diff ratios are different, but i'm not sure.
